Steve Carell gets “familiar” with Bob Wright - VIDEO

June 06th, 2007 | Category: The Office, Videos

The folks at NBC sent us a link to a funny little video that they’ve put up on their Dot Comedy video site. In the video, shot at the 2005 upfront presentation, Steve Carell has a very positive (and obviously pre-planned) reaction to the renewal of The Office for a second season. He bounds down the aisle at Radio City Music Hall, overjoyed that his struggling little mid-season replacement was picked up. He’s so overjoyed that he finds NBC Universal chairman Bob Wright and kisses him on the lips.

The ironic thing

about that video is that two of the main players in it, Wright and Kevin Reilly, who you see announcing The Office’s renewal, are no longer with the network; whether you recall, Wright’s replacement, Jeff Zucker, just fired Reilly last week. By the way, Dot Comedy has a whole Carell channel set up to promote his upcoming movie, Evan Almighty. They plus have vlogs from various comedians (including our own Paul Goebel). It’s a good way to blow an entire day at work. The video is after the jump.
